Is Gambling a scam

[bitterguy28]

one can do what they want with their money but that is the thing, they SHOULDN'T risk it all, avoiding ruin is a must
but idk if you are an 18 year old that want to risk it big and try to be millionaire or blow up maybe it is ok, because you're still young and can try again many times
the time to blow up is probably when you are young and strong (and by blow up I mean having big financial losses and not something like risking death)

one can risk their own money because its their money but unless the money a 18 year old uses to gamble is his from working then i do not think he should be risking anything let’s say he uses his parents’ money, how would that be okay to risk when potentially he is spending money to be used for far more important things?

risk your money after you’ve earned it because it’s your money and you can do absolutely whatever with it if you like

Gambling is not a scam because you were not promised to be rewarded after placing your bet. It's only a try your luck game which you are aware of. Gambling is for fun and you are to pay for having fun in a casino but you still have the chance to win back your money or more if you're lucky to your while having fun. Nobody will sweet talk you into gambling, only if you fall for those influencers but the greed of reaping from where you didn't sow is the problem, because you know that the chance of winning your bet is 50-50 and you went ahead.

do you know why some people will conclude that a gambling is a scam it is because since they have been participating in the gambling, they always experience loss, and with their final conclusion based on the not achieve anything through gambling they will come up with the idea that the gambling is a scam around from time I know gambling and there's no day I consider the gambling as a scam because I know that the gambling is something that has to deal with opportunity and advantages and the disadvantages so if your own opportunity from on the advantages side of gambling, you make a profit but if did not fall you make nothing, that is why is good to gamble with plans.

The act itself is a threat if not immediately avoided, but this is very difficult for people who are addicted to gambling. People who are deceived are people who have big ambitions to win for the umpteenth time, but without realizing it, successive defeats bring destruction closer. Consecutive defeats made them regret that they had been cheated, but they were deceived by their own hopes that had not been realized.

Some people who say gambling seem like they do not understand the true meaning of gambling which is they think it will be easy to get a win while in reality it is not but that is the mistake.

You're right. Gambling's not exactly a scam, even if it feels that way sometimes.  It's a game of chance where the house has an advantage built into the rules.  Makes it tough to come out ahead in the long run.  Still, people get lucky now and then.  Maybe that little bit of hope keeps folks coming back, chasing the thrill of winning.  Just gotta go in knowing the odds are stacked against you.

The reason some people address gambling as a scam is most time due to frustration and some other stuff (like the casino been an actual scam) but not gambling it self, the reason most people easily get frustrated is that they usually use money they are not supposed to use are they usually put high expectations in gambling, and we all know that gambling is a game of luck you either win or lose .
Doesn't mean if you lose is scam , gambling is kinda hard because if it's easy it won't be fun.

Every gambler certainly has the hope to win. Even several times the gambler gets his victory. Unfortunately, the hope is not by the gambler's expectations which results in the gambler being dissatisfied and trying to continue to get a bigger win.
What is wrong is the mindset of the gambler himself. A gambler who loses should not then accuse the casino of cheating him. You are right; the gambler himself is deceived by the hopes he created.

People you see losing money on gambling only think that gambling is a scam or a fraud trap. But gambling is different for each person especially for those who consider gambling as a part of entertainment, gambling can be a source of entertainment and for those who consider gambling as a place to make money as a career. But those who choose gambling to become suddenly rich and in that case become bankrupt instead of becoming rich only promote gambling as a scam.

That's exactly what I said in my latest reply in the topic, I believe it's already clear for everyone, and even when someone loses money, it's their own choice and they have no right to say that gambling as a scam. Gambling outcomes depend completely on personal expectations and decision.
For those who treat it as entertainment it can be an enjoyable pastime. However, when someone enters gambling hoping to get rich quickly (like me) and ends up losing but the issue is with our unrealistic expectations not the system itself. Blaming gambling as a scam in such cases is simply showing us the personal responsibility. It’s important to understand the risk and when you play responsibly knowing that no guarantee exist.

Well, that's the real fact, so actually the impact of gambling is not caused by casinos or gambling but rather by the gambler himself as you believe, because in fact they also never win but often they waste the victory by instead applying greed for something much bigger, even though it is clear that in the concept of gambling there is always no certainty that you will always be able to win, or simply the next result is not determined by the previous result. So we agree here that the biggest mistake is from the perspective and mindset of the gambler himself in responding to gambling, they misunderstand what and how gambling really is so that in the end they treat this activity in an aggressive and excessive way, they do not understand that there is no certainty regarding victory and also they do not understand that defeat will always be part of the game, this is why we are always prohibited from putting excessive expectations because it will only make you more disappointed.

The longer you play, the more you will lose, I see that with gambling in reality it is just a lucky scheme that gamblers will get, yes even though it is small but they bet it has a risk of 50% to 50%, yes if you don't win then lose like that is the mechanism and they try to believe in that chance to bet their money on gambling, a glimmer of hope they can work on gambling because they have no other way to get more money besides betting on gambling.

Therefore if there is someone who does not know the risks of gambling, even gamblers can lose all the money they bet, it is better not to gamble.
A casino is not a place to invest or a casino is not a place to save. If you are not ready to lose your bet money, it is better to put your money in the bank. Never try casino games or any bets. Such unpreparedness makes everything sound ridiculous.

If the gambler does not admit his own mistake and blames the casino, then such a complaint should be ignored. No one guarantees winning in a casino and who is responsible for losing money there? The gambler must first know whether he has the ability to lose his money.

Betting on a game of chance means that the gambler will win or lose there. A common characteristic among gamblers is that gamblers who lose their money will comment on gambling in one way and those who win will comment in a different way. Therefore, gamblers who talk about their disappointment must definitely say that they did not find a good situation in gambling or that they lack the knowledge about gambling. Gambling is for those who understand gambling. It is not considered as a way to earn money. Those who do not have money to throw away gambling can get nothing but disappointment in gambling.

one can risk their own money because its their money but unless the money a 18 year old uses to gamble is his from working then i do not think he should be risking anything let’s say he uses his parents’ money, how would that be okay to risk when potentially he is spending money to be used for far more important things? risk your money after you’ve earned it because it’s your money and you can do absolutely whatever with it if you like

Whatever your age, you will be always risking your money in gambling if you don't know the nature of gambling. Even you are already 18 years old and have your own job, it doesn't remove the risk in gambling. To deal with the risk, you must have good understanding of gambling and know the limitation in gambling. You will know that we can't spend money carelessly in gambling, it is just the way to lose everything. The best way is to make it just for fun only and have limitation for gambling budget weekly or monthly.

Thinking of the both ideas reminds me of the behaviors between salary earners who gamble and teenagers who depend on their players money for gaming. The difference is always there, and the wagering spirit isn't similar. Even though that players think and take actions alike, a times those who work for their money tend to minimize the way they gamble. Unless when in a compulsive state of mind.

Those who work for their money understand perfectly well how hard it is to make money, so, when they have to spend any amount on gambling, they will have to think first and make sure their chances of winning is a bit good.

No matter how we look at this, those who work for their money are more sensible gamblers than those who either depend on parents or someone else for money, or depend on money they made from gambling to keep gambling, this one's usually have little to no value for their money, but those who work hard to earn money usually value their money more, and watch how to spend, they can only spend recklessly on gambling when addicted.

If you wanna take risk why waste potential money in gambling is better to find a certain investment and invest that money in it , and set your mind for anything, either you lose or gain it is two ways like gambling but with less Risk compare to gambling.

Gambling should be something one should do for fun , not for the money though winning and gaining extra bucks when having fun makes things way more exciting, but still focus mainly on the entertaining part.

Though, you would be surprised with the about of people who are very cocky when they reach the age of eighteen or twenty one and assume they already can outsmart casinos only because they think to have grown smarter then the staff of those establishments, it is a little bit similar to teens who believe they are already grown up enough to consume alcohol in huge quantities and they can deal with the consequences of their acts while they are drink/intoxicated.Only to realize the consequences are bigger than they even imagined.

Teens and young adults who are barely legal to gamble and who have had positive experiences with gaming simulators believe they can walk into a casino with a bill of one hundred dollars and quit with one thousand with no problem, it is the risk of the youth recklessness and hence why those who are older and with more experience with gambling and sport betting will advice kids not to get involved in gambling until they have reach financial stability and can manage a budget efficiently.

If we know that a casino is regulated, especially if the casinos you play with gambling are the crypto gambling years of existing here in the forum, you will surely not be disappointed. Especially if it has been operating here for a year with reputed campaign managers who managed it.

And if it's out of this forum, the casinos online are also out of crypto, then I can say that others are just scams. In my opinion, although I'm not saying all of them.

When you have plans to take advantage of something and that thing ends up taking advantage of you, you consider that thing or system not to be fair enough, and when it works in your favour, you either classify yourself as being a pro or the system as being very easy to cheat; this is just a case of the op.

There was too much being expected from the casino, and he or she might have invested so much money and also expected so much money too, which did not come as expected, and the only thing that could be said at that moment instead of accepting defeat is to label gambling a scam.

[l3pox]

Gambling is not a scam and we shouldn't make use of the one that is scamming, the more it is expected of us to make research on which platform to use and ask form others who have experience in using them to give us more light, we are gambling all because we are willing to do so, not that someone is forcing it on us as against our wish, instead, we are interested in having fun gambling.

It can also happened that we hear some people saying it that gambling is a scam, we shouldn't go by what the public opinion says, or the way any random person on the internet could behave or call a thing, they have their freedom of speech in saying whatever thing they like from their mouth, ours is to know how we could filter between the good and the bad.

exactly, gambling is gambling
scams are scams
there are scams that could use gambling as a first-layer and rob you on the background
but in general these are two really different things, not the same

this could mislead begginers.

That's humans for you , same things goes for our normal Airdrops In this space whenever some folks don't make good amount of money from certain projects while some did, they will quickly refer that project as scam projects, because they didn't make much From it while those that did won't lay any complaints rather be grateful for what they have , same goes for gambling, imo is only when you gamble irresponsible, that's when you refers gambling as scam.

Hi guys let have your view on this questions because only real gamblers will understand what I mean?
Is Gambling with your hard earned money Worth it because I have come to the conclusion that gambling is a scam

Gambling is not a scam and just like I always say,  gambling is a game of chance ( Grace) but some take it or call it luck which I don't believe but rather I believe on Grace. The reasons why some people say gambling is a scam or not good is because they are so unfortunate and don't have sufficient grace, I can tell you for free that there are people who are eating through gambling and there are also people who are suffering because of gamble and some thinks they win gamble because of luck or because they know how to play but that's wrong. Gambling with your hard eaned money is not a bad thing but it becomes bad when you turn an addict, that is gambling anyhow and lavishing your hard earned money and remember there are people who gamble with their hard earned money for fun.
